The yield on the 10-year Treasury has reached 5% for the first time since 2007. Treasury yields have been climbing rapidly, with the 10-year yield rallying from less than 3.50% during the spring and from just 0.50% early in the pandemic.

Well-known large-cap stocks are often the ones that get all the media attention, but sometimes it's the smaller companies are performing the best while the big names are struggling. To some degree, that's what's happening in the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector in recent weeks, as big names like Realty Income Corp. (NYSE:O), W.P. Carey Inc. (NYSE:WPC), SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG), Prologis Inc. (NYSE:PLD) and others have been slashed in price or are just treading water. Meanwhile,  ( 35 min )

The stock market has finally begun recovering from the worst bear market since 2008, with the S&P 500 index rising by nearly 12% year to date. The tech sector boasted a stellar recovery after a brutal rout last year, as evidenced by the Nasdaq Composite Index's 26% gain so far this year. But the market volatility is far from over. The Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates at least once again this year and the growing geopolitical tensions globally have resulted in volatility levels  ( 35 min )

Chevron Corp said on Monday it would buy smaller rival Hess Corp in a $53 billion all-stock deal, taking its rivalry with Exxon Mobil to the next level by boosting its presence in U.S. shale and oil-rich Guyana. Acquiring Hess adds 30% ownership in over 11 billion barrels of oil equivalent of discovered recoverable resource in Guyana and 465,000 net acres of high-quality, long-duration inventory supported by integrated midstream assets in the Bakken to Chevron’s portfolio, along with assets in the Gulf of Mexico and a natural gas business in Southeast Asia. Given that Exxon Mobil had effectively taken itself out of the running for large-scale M&A following the recent Pioneer deal, we would have thought Chevron could bide its time, and hence we are a little surprised at the timing of this deal.  ( 34 min )

CEO Elon Musk said at Tesla's earnings call earlier this month that the company was hesitating on its plans for a factory in Mexico as it grapples with a turbulent economic outlook.

U.S. technology giants are likely to post their strongest quarterly revenue growth in at least a year as their legacy businesses stabilized, but investors looking for signs of a boost from artificial intelligence (AI) may be disappointed. Microsoft, Google-parent Alphabet, Facebook-parent Meta Platforms and Amazon are expected to have built on the recovery in their enterprise software and digital ads businesses as professional and consumer spending stayed resilient despite an uncertain global economy. The quartet's shares have rallied -- between Microsoft's 36% and Meta's 157% -- this year, boosting their combined market value to over $6 trillion and lifting the benchmark S&P 500 index.  ( 34 min )

After a succession of production snafus, investors will question whether U.S. aerospace's "problem children" - Boeing, RTX and Spirit AeroSystems - can stem financial losses and hit year-end targets. All three companies are expected to report losses in their third-quarter results as they struggle to resolve manufacturing defects on their most profitable aircraft and engine products. RTX engine subsidiary Pratt & Whitney disclosed in September it will take a $3 billion charge in the quarter after planning to replace components containing contaminated metal powder on as many as 700 Geared Turbofan (GTF) engines.  ( 34 min )

Partly unwinding pre-weekend safety hedges related to the Middle East conflict, world markets are back focused on some critical macro priced levels and milestones that may once again define the week. But in keeping with that retreat from havens, U.S. Treasuries and sovereign bonds everywhere resumed their decline and 10-year U.S. benchmark borrowing rates finally moved up through the 5% level for the first time in 16 years early on Monday. The dollar retained its bid as a result and continued to probe the 150 yen level many suspect the Bank of Japan will be keen to protect against with open-market yen buying.  ( 34 min )

Dutch health technology company Philips on Monday raised its full-year outlook as it beat analyst expectations with a more than doubling of third-quarter core profit to 457 million euros ($483.3 million). Analysts in a company-compiled poll on average had predicted adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and amortisation (EBITA) in July-September would rise to 389 million euros from 209 million euros the year before. Philips said it now expected 6% to 7% comparable sales growth over 2023, with a profit margin (adjusted EBITA) of 10%-11%.  ( 32 min )

Gold prices retreated from last session's five-month peak on Monday as the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields strengthened ahead of crucial economic data this week, with investors looking for any signs of a global fallout of the Middle East conflict. Spot gold was down 0.4% at $1,972.39 per ounce by 0334 GMT, and U.S. gold futures slid 0.5% to $1,983.50. Gold prices hit their highest since mid-May on Friday and surged about 9% in the past two weeks as investors opted for the safety of bullion on fears that the Israel-Hamas war could escalate into a wider Middle East conflict.  ( 33 min )

A surprise first place for Argentina's ruling Peronists in a general election on Sunday could calm market fears about a runaway win for libertarian radical Javier Milei who has pledged to dollarize the economy and shut the central bank. Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa won around 36.5% of the vote ahead of right-wing outsider Milei with just over 30%, far outperforming pre-election polls and setting up a polarized run-off vote on Nov. 19 between the two. Analysts said the result should alleviate fears about a sudden devaluation of the local peso currency and reduce the likelihood of the country ditching the peso any time soon, with the eventual winner likely to have a weak mandate.  ( 33 min )

Currently billionaires' effective personal tax is often far less than what other taxpayers of more modest means pay because they can park wealth in shell companies sheltering them from income tax, the group said in its 2024 Global Tax Evasion Report.  ( 33 min )
